  • Body Image: Let’s Take a Stand

    We are headed out on a much needed family vacation for the next few days. The kids are out of school and we figured what the heck. We haven’t had a long family holiday in a while. I’ve been super stressed out and not feeling myself, so hopefully it will be just what I need…

  • Fake It Until You Make It

    I’ve always said that I will be honest when I take to this blog — the triumphs, the struggles, the shit times and the great moments of my life. So be warned… The past few months I’ve been struggling. Struggling to remain focused. Struggling to get my ass in gear — I’m not sure what’s…

  • Tell Your Story and Let It Go

    I regularly read the musings of an entrepreneur, writer James Altucher. He seems to have a really good perspective and gives good advice.  Here’s a short excerpt from the Post by James Altucher.

  • Building New Habits Takes Practice

    A few friends have shared with me the news that two people at my previous job are leaving the company. These were not ‘friends’, heck you could even say, in some part, I believe my parting ways was due to the relationship I had with both of them. There are three sides to every story and I…

  • Bad Posture is More Than Just An Eyesore

    It’s always peaceful and calm when the kids don’t have to rush and head off to school. Unfortunately, I have to head into work today which is a bummer because I could use at least one more day to my weekend. As expected, now that I am working full time, my house is starting to…
